<p>The Whittemore House is a First Period house in Gloucester, Massachusetts, built around 1700, based on an analysis of its framing and construction methods. It is a two-story wood-frame building with a two-story shed-style addition on the rear, and a single story addition on the right side. When first built, it consisted of two rooms with a chimney on the right; two more rooms were added in the First Period to the right of the chimney, nearly centering it in the house. The original chimney has since been removed.</p><br>
<p>The house is also notable for its occupation by artist Fitz Hugh Lane, who used the left side room as his studio. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The White-Preston House is a historic First Period house in Danvers, Massachusetts. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, twin interior chimneys, and clapboard siding. Its main entrance is sheltered by a gable-roofed portico. The oldest portion of the house, its front right, dates to about 1722, with the front rooms on the left added soon afterward. In the 19th century the rear of the house was either rebuilt or enlarged to be a full two stories in height, and the house was given a modest Greek Revival stylistic treatment.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Old Lynn High School is a historic school at 50 High Street in Lynn, Massachusetts. The two story wood frame Italianate building was built in 1850 and opened to students in 1851. Originally five window bays in length, it was extended in 1876 by the addition of three bays to reach its present size, measuring 45 ft by 95 ft. It sits on a rise overlooking the downtown area in a residential neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Inside the building, the first floor shows only traces of its original academic use, having been converted to other uses. The second floor still shows the original classroom layouts, with two classrooms occupying either side of a central hallway in the original part of the building, and a third classroom is contained in the 1876 addition.</p><br>
<p>The building was used by the city for academic purposes for 124 years. It was the city&#39;s first high school until 1892, after which it served as a vocational shop for the English High School, which was built across Liberty Street to the west. In 1924 it became the home of the Lynn Independent Industrial Shoemaking School, which operated in the building until 1975. In 2002 the building had been vacant for some time, and was suffering from neglect and vandalism, including attempted arson. The building was rehabilitated and expanded in a historically sensitive way, and is now the facilities of Girls Incorporated of Lynn.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Old Public Library is a historic library building in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The Richardsonian Romanesque structure was built in 1892 to a design by George G. Adams, a leading architect of public buildings in New England. The building is predominantly brownstone, with terracotta trim bands, an irregular and asymmetric massing with a tower, and its entrance recessed in an archway. It served as Lawrence&#39;s public library until 1973 when a new library building was built.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Old Town Farm is a historic poor farm building in Methuen, Massachusetts. The brick two story building was built in 1846, after Methuen lost its earlier poor farm due to the loss of part of its territory to newly founded Lawrence. The building is five bays wide and deep, with entries on the front and side; the front entrance is recessed with a fanlight and sidelights. The building has shed dormers that run much of the length of the roofline, and its end walls are topped by parapets and double chimneys, features not seen elsewhere in the town.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984; it is now a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The Old Town House is in the heart of the Marblehead Historic District at One Market Square in Marblehead, Massachusetts, at the intersection of Washington, State, and Mugford Streets.</p><br>
<p>The town house was constructed in 1727 and was a replacement for the Old Meeting House on Franklin Street. The upper level of the building served as a town hall, while the lower level was originally used as a market. The upstairs is still used as a town hall, but the lower level is the location of the Marblehead Police Museum. During the American Revolution notable proponents of liberty such as Elbridge Gerry and General John Glover debated independence in the building. The building would eventually be replaced as the town hall when the new Abbot Hall was built in 1876.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and included in the Marblehead Historic District in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Olmsted Subdivision Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by New Ocean St/Paradise Road, Swampscott Avenue, Redington Street and Burrill Street in Swampscott, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>According to the May 2005 Massachusetts Heritage Landscape Inventory Program (Swampscott Reconnaissance Report), “This large residential neighborhood was planned by Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr. in 1888 at the request of the Swampscott Land Trust. The 130-acre estate had belonged to E. Redington Mudge. Olmsted’s plan with its curvilinear roads layout, traffic islands, entrance parkway, use of the topographic features and fine architecture is remarkably well preserved. The roads and traffic islands are maintained by the town. The shapes have not been altered; however the town has been unable to maintain original plant material. Part of the original plan showed “Overlook Park” with steps leading to it at the end of Monument Avenue. It was never constructed and in its place is a huge house on top of the hill. The original subdivision had 191 lots of varying sizes and shapes.”</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. At the same time, many argue that Olmsted never actually set foot in Swampscott, and the original plan was only for a strip of land that begins roughly at Humphrey Street and concludes where Monument Avenue turns into Walker Road.</p><br>
<p>Orlando is the historic estate of William M. Wood Jr. in Andover, Massachusetts. Woods father, William Madison Wood, was president and part owner of the American Woolen Company, whose home was the Arden estate next door to where Orlando was built. William M. Wood Jr.s mother was Ellen Ayer Wood, the daughter of Frederick Ayer. Orlando is a distinctive Spanish Mission style mansion of 2.5 stories, with a green tile roof. The house was a wedding gift to Wood and his new wife, Edith Goldsborough Robinson, from his parents. The house was begun in 1916 and completed in 1917 to a design by architect Perley F. Gilbert, an Andover native who was then practicing in Lowell. The houses locally unusual Spanish Colonial-inspired architecture may have been influenced by the Wood familys summers in Florida.</p><br>
<p>Located at 260 N. Main Street, it now houses the private Lanam Club.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Peabody Civic Center Historic District encompasses a well-preserved portion of the historic center of Peabody, Massachusetts. Extending along Chestnut and Franklin Streets south of Peabody City Hall, the district includes a small residential area built in the mid-19th century, as well as the city hall and St. JOhn the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, two monumental structures defining the town&#39;s civic heart. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Peabody was originally part of Salem, and was, after a series of political divisions, incorporated separately as South Danvers in 1855. It was renamed Peabody, after philanthropist George Peabody, in 1868, and was reincorporated as a city in 1911. The area where the city center developed was settled as early as 1634, when a grist mill was built on Proctor Brook north of what is now Lowell Street. A church was built on the south side of Lowell Street in 1711, and open land to its south was used as a commons and militia training ground. The area developed residentially in the 1840s, when Lowell Street (not part of the district except City Hall) was lined with small businesses such as shoe shops, resulting in a collection of Greek Revival and Italianate houses. The areas significance as the city center was cemented with the construction in the 1870s of St. Johns, an imposing Victorian Gothic brick building, and the 1880s construction of City Hall, a 3-1/2 story Second Empire building.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is anchored at its northeastern corner by City Hall, and is roughly L shape extending south and then west from there. It includes housing along Chestnut Street between Lowell and Franklin Street, and along Franklin between Chestnut and School Streets. To the west of City Hall, it includes the main St. John&#39;s edifice, as well as the associated rectory and convent.</p><br>
<p>The Deacon Edward Putnam Jr. House is a historic First Period house in Middleton, Massachusetts, United States. The oldest portion of the house, its right  side and the central chimney, were built c. 1705, probably by Deacon Edward Putnam Sr. By 1718, Edward Jr. occupied the house with his family, by which time it had been expanded with rooms to the west. The house facade had, until renovations in the 1960s, an unusual three bay configuration, with two windows on the west side of the chimney and one to its right. The renovations in the 1960s added a lean-to section to the rear of the house, beyond which a single story ell connects the house to a series of barns.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, where it is listed at 4 Gregory Street.</p><br>
<p>The River Road–Cross Street Historic District is a rural agricultural historic district in Topsfield, Massachusetts. It is representative of Topsfield&#39;s development first as an agricultural community, and later as place for rural retreats. The district, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, is roughly bounded by River Road, Rowley Bridge Road, Cross Street, Hill Street, and Salem Road, and also includes properties facing Prospect Street and Bradstreet Lane. Much of the district was consolidated under the ownership of William Appleton Coolidge in the 20th century, and bequeathed to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with restrictions to preserve its rural character. MIT sold the donated properties in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The district includes nineteen properties distributed across 450 acre in a rural landscape that includes open farmlands, historic farmsteads, 19th and 20th century estate houses, and scenic views of the Ipswich River, which runs through the center of the district. Some of these lands have been worked since the early colonial days of Topsfield&#39;s history. The oldest houses in the district, the Zaccheus Gould House and the Stanley Lake House, date to the late 17th century, and are separately listed on the National Register. There are also several houses dating to the middle and late 18th century, notably two that were built by John Balch on Hill Street.</p><br>
<p>The area began a gradual transformation from a strictly agricultural use to that of a rural retreat area as early as 1807, when the Perkins-Pingree House was built at 49 Salem Road. This high Federal style house is one of the finest of its type in Topsfield. Two important large-scale estates in the area are the Meredith Farm (29 and 41 Cross Street) and the Cummings Estate (82 River Road). The Meredith Farm was developed as a rural retreat by Boston developer J. Morris Meredith, who built an Arts and Crafts style estate house on the property, while preserving the historic Daniel Bixby farmstead (built c. 1800). The Cummings Estate was the work of Margaret Cummings, who purchased land that had long been in the hands of the Lake family, early Topsfield settlers, in the early 20th century. Her brother, architect Charles K. Cummings, designed a collection of Tudor Revival buildings for the estate, and it was landscaped to designs by Arthur Shurcliff, who had studied landscape design with the Olmsted Brothers.</p><br>
<p>The Pleasant–High Historic District encompasses the earliest area of non-agricultural residential development in Methuen, Massachusetts. It encompasses houses along High and Pleasant Streets from just east of Broadway to Vine Street, as well as a few that face on adjoining streets. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984; on its western boundary it abuts the Spicket Falls Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Prior to 1800 Methuen, which then included part of what is now Lawrence, was a predominantly rural agricultural town. Its primary industrial facility consisted of a gristmill and cotton mill, located at the falls of the Spicket River in what is now the town center. The construction in 1806 of the Turnpike (now Broadway) led to development of a housing district to its east, on a rise overlooking the area where the falls and mills were located. By 1810 Pleasant Street and High Street (originally called George Street) had been laid out, and the earliest Federal style houses, at 36 High Street (c. 1820) and 18-20 Pleasant Street (c. 1810), soon followed.</p><br>
<p>The mills were expanded in 1826 and again in 1855, bringing development in the residential area to provide housing for mill workers, and the location of the First Congregational Church (separately listed in 1978) at 30 Pleasant Street in 1832 cemented the area as the primary center of the town. After 1855 a number of Second Empire houses were built in the area, and scattered exemplars of other 19th century architectural styles followed. In 1890 mill owner David Nevins plotted out a subdivision of about 100 plots in the area of Gage and Stevens Streets, from which a number of Queen Anne, Shingle, Georgian Revival, and Colonial Revival properties (built between 1890 and 1910) survive. The principal public space in the district is the site of the American Civil War memorial, located in the triangular area where Pleasant and Charles Streets meet.</p><br>
<p>The Rea-Proctor Homestead is a historic First Period house at 180 Conant Street in Danvers, Massachusetts. It is notable not only for its age, but its association with a number of well-known individuals. The oldest part of the house was built c. 1692 by Joshua Rea Sr., whose son, Joshua Jr., testified at the Salem witch trials on behalf of John Proctor. It remained in the Rea family until 1803, and from 1804 to 1806 it was owned by one of Massachusetts&#39;s leading statesmen, Timothy Pickering. The house was updated to a Federalist style by Isaac Rea, the last of that family to own the property. Pickering was a gentleman farmer, running agricultural experiments on the farm and taking detailed notes of his work. He helped found the Essex Agricultural Society, the first organization of its type. In 1812 the property was purchased by Daniel Proctor, and it has since remained in the hands of his descendants.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The James Putnam Jr. House is a historic First Period house in Danvers, Massachusetts. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a gambrel roof pierced by three interior chimneys. The house was built in stages, beginning in about 1715 as a typical First Period double pile house, with a center entrance, chimney and winder staircase . To this another double pile structure was added to the front in the mid 1700’s creating an early Federal style central hall structure. This expansion was completed by the last Attorney General to King George III, who fled to Nova Scotia at the beginning of the Revolution. The house&#39;s most prominent Colonial resident was Colonel Timothy Pickering, who leased it from 1802 to 1804, when he was serving as United States Senator.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Rockport Downtown Main Street Historic District encompasses part of the historic center of Rockport, Massachusetts. The district extends along Main Street, from its junction with Beach Street in the west to just east of its junction with School Street. The area is just west of Rockports noted Bearskin Neck area. Most of the 28 properties in the district are commercial buildings; there are also three churches, a library, and a number of residences. Only a few of these properties front on the side streets adjacent to Main Street; all abut Main Street. The central focal point of the district is the First Congregational Church, built 1803, and the adjacent Federal style Jewett House, a pastors residence built in 1806. Most of the commercial buildings are modest in scale , and are in a variety of building styles popular in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Rocks Village Historic District is a historic district in eastern Haverhill, Massachusetts. It encompasses a dense community of 25 mainly residential structures at the western end of the Rocks Village Bridge, an early crossing point of the Merrimack River, of which 15 date to the 18th century. The village is significant for its association with the poet John Greenleaf Whittier, who was born nearby, and for the artwork of Rufus Porter, found in one of the houses. The area was designated a local historic district in 1975, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Rocks Village, located in far eastern Haverhill, developed beginning in 1640 as a ferry crossing point on the river joining Haverhill to West Newbury, and as a local nexus for local farmers. The first bridge at this site was built in 1795, and the present Rock&#39;s Bridge, a multi-truss steel structure, dates to 1905. The oldest surviving house in the district was built in 1740, and 15 of the 25 buildings were built before 1800. Only two residences were built in the 20th century. All but one are wood frame structures, generally 1-1/2 or 2-1/2 stories in height; there is one brick house. One building, the Hand Tub House, is a fire station that has been converted into a local museum.</p><br>
<p>The district is centered on the four-way junction of River Road, Wharf Lane, East Main Street, and the Rocks Bridge approach. Most of the district buildings are arrayed on Wharf Lane and River Road, with a few on East Main Street. The bridge is the only portion of the district extending into West Newbury. The 1750 Ingalls House is notable for two reasons: first, it has murals on its walls drawn by the itinerant painter Rufus Porter, and it was the birthplace of Mary Ingalls, the first countess to be born in New England. Also known as the "Countess House", the events of Ingalls life were memorialized by poet John Greenleaf Whittier in "The Countess". Whittier, who was born nearby, dedicated the poem to Dr. Elias Weld, another occupant of that house.</p><br>
<p>The restoration of the Countess House has been a continuous process for many years, culminating in it being listed on the National Register as an historic site. Thomas and Nelle Crowley (user name: ftcmoa) owned and further restored the house from 2003 to 2005. Most of the murals on the walls of the Countess House remain intact and include the following: 1 - front stairway; stag hunt running up the stairs & a steamboat drawn on the wall under the stairway. 2 - Top left, upstairs, front bedroom; four wall monochromatic views of New England, somewhat fanciful in that the mountains and trees look like they were drawn from memory of a trip to Hawaii. 3 - Back bedroom, upstairs; this low-ceilinged room with a small fireplace has murals on all four walls</p><br>
<p>The Old Rockport High School, now the Rockport Community House, is a historic school building at 58 Broadway in Rockport, Massachusetts. The -story wood-frame building was built in 1865, with Italianate styling, and served as the town&#39;s first public high school until 1926. Three years later it was reopened as a community center, a role it continues to fulfil today.</p><br>
<p>The main portion of the building is a rectangular block that is minimally styled in with nominally Italianate features, such as a gable end returns and corner trim. The front facade originally had two separate entrances (one for boys, one for girls), but these have been replaced by windows. There is a two-story addition on the side of the building, and two further additions on the rear, all added in the 19th century. The main entrance to the building is now made through the side addition. The interior is dominated by decorative features that date to c. 1900. The first floor front classroom still contains a number of details from that time, including wooden floors, benches, and blackboards, although the latter have been covered over.</p><br>
<p>The building when first built was only a single story. Due to growing enrollment, the building was raised in 1869 and a new first floor built. In 1890 the school was again increased in size, adding the first of the rear additions to accommodate more students as well as labs for chemistry and physics, although adequate facilities for those classes were not added until 1908. The side addition was added in 1900 to provide a stairway, making additional room in the main part of the building. Continued overcrowding and issues with the age and inadequacy of its physical plant led to the construction of a new high school in 1926.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Primrose Street Schoolhouse is a historic school building at 71 Primrose Street in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The two story brick building was designed by Haverhill architect Josiah M. Littlefield and built in 1868 to meet increased demand for schooling occasioned by an influx of French Canadian families, and served as a public school until the 1890s. It was sold by the city in 1909, at which time it was converted into a multifamily residence. The building&#39;s 20th century uses, in addition to housing, have included office space for social service agencies, and a day care center.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The John Proctor House is a historic First Period house in Peabody, Massachusetts, United States. According to local tradition, this wood-frame house was occupied by John Proctor, who was convicted and hanged for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials of 1692. However, dendrochronology has determined the house was built by Proctor&#39;s son Thorndike, who purchased the property from Charles Downing around that time. The house remained in the Proctor family into the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It is not open to the public.</p><br>
<p>The White–Ellery House is a historic house located at 247 Washington Street in Gloucester, Massachusetts. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is owned and operated by the Cape Ann Museum, whose headquarters is located at 27 Pleasant Street in Gloucester.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The White–Ellery House was erected in 1710 upon what was then the Town green of Gloucester. It was built at the edge of a marsh for Gloucesters first settled minister, the Reverend John White (1677–1760). In keeping with Whites esteemed position in the community, the House exhibits a certain elegance and refinement, perhaps best reflected in the surviving interior details.</p><br>
<p>In 1735, the house was purchased by James Stevens and kept as a tavern, sometimes serving as a meeting place for the town&#39;s selectmen. In 1740, Captain William Ellery (1693–1771) took title to the property. Ellery, who was almost 50 years old, had just married for the second time and after keeping the tavern in operation for a few years, used the house as a home for his growing family. Ellery was a slave ship captain, notably navigating the slave ship Jenny in 1758 on behalf of Merchant Timothy Fitch. Ellery also navigated the snow (type of ship) Caesar on behalf of Fitch</p><br>
<p>Over the next 200 years, six generations of the Ellery family lived in the house. At the most basic level, the house tells the story of an ordinary, middle-class New England family who worked hard to provide for themselves and to raise their children, who witnessed and often took part in events of local and national importance, and who sought to preserve their legacy in the face of an ever-changing world. At a broader level, the house serves as a rare and thought-provoking venue for students of all ages to explore the evolution of New England architecture and to better understand how changing tastes and housing needs affected one particular structure.</p><br>
<p>In 1947 the structure was moved approximately 100 yards from its original location, roughly centered on the rotary, to its present position immediately north of the Babson-Alling house to make room for Route 128. Although the center of Gloucester long ago moved from the Town Green to the Harbor Village, the site remains the entrance to Gloucester and an important historical site.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The White–Ellery House is one of just a few hundred First Period (c. 1620–1725) houses in eastern Massachusetts. It is a 2 ½ story "saltbox" structure with a central chimney that once serviced six fireplaces. The building has vertical plank frame construction with an integral lean-to roof. There is a framed overhang on the front façade, and rare examples of raised-field paneled doors between rooms on the first floor. The Renaissance-inspired architectural features illustrate the transition from European building traditions to early American ones. Inside there are several examples of early decorative detail, including three different examples of painted wall decoration, elaborate chamfering (decorative plane work) on ceiling beams, and one of the most highly developed front staircases of the period in eastern Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>The structure of the house has remained relatively unchanged throughout its 300-year history. Due to the recent initiative of the Cape Ann Museum, efforts have been made to restore the building and open it to the public. The White–Ellery house offers a chance for members of the Gloucester community and visitors to Cape Ann to learn about the history of the area. The building is a source of pride to the city that is now being shared with the public the first Saturdays of the summer months when local artists will display one-day installations (schedule below).</p><br>

<p>The West Parish Center District encompasses the social and religious center of the part of Andover, Massachusetts, that is located west of the Shawsheen River. It is mostly spread along Lowell Street  on either side of a major intersection with four other roads: Shawsheen Road, Reservation Road, Beacon Street, and High Plain Road. The centerpiece of the district is the 1826 West Parish Church, which is the oldest church standing in Andover. It is an elegant Federal style granite structure topped with a wooden steeple, added in 1863. The roof is made of Spanish tile, which was probably part of changes made around 1908. Opposite the church on the south side of the common is the West Parish Cemetery, which began as a small burying ground in the 1790s, and was substantially enlarged and restyled  in the early 1900s.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the church, common, and cemetery, a number of period houses line Lowell Street and the nearby streets. Most of them were built between 1780 and 1830, and are in Federal or Greek Revival styles. One notable exception is the C. A. Holt House at 202 Shawsheen Road, which is a fine Queen Anne style Victorian. The newest house in the district, 181 Lowell Street, is a Bungalow-style 1-1/2 story house built about 1920, and the oldest is an early Federal style house built about 1780, at 173 Lowell.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The West Cogswell House is a historic house at 5-9 Summer Street in Salem, Massachusetts. It is an example of the Greek Revival style of architecture that was common in 19th century Salem.</p><br>
<p>The house is a group of three brick Greek Revival rowhouses that were built in 1834 by Nathaniel West, one of Salem&#39;s leading sea captains and merchants. Each building is three window bays wide, with a recessed side entry framed by a wooden portico; the right two unit entries are adjacent, and sheltered by a single portico. The buildings were at one time the home of American Civil War general, and later Mayor of Salem William Cogswell.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is now operated as a hotel called the Salem Inn, which also owns the nearby John P. Peabody House.</p><br>
<p>The Wenham Historic District is a predominantly rural and residential historic district in Wenham, Massachusetts. It encompasses the full length of Main Street  between the Beverly and Hamilton lines, a stretch of one of the original post roads which is known to have elements of its present alignment as early as 1710. The architecture along the route is predominantly residential, principally excepting the cluster of municipal and religious buildings in the town center. Most of the buildings in the district were built in the 18th and 19th centuries.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Peabody School is a historic school building at 160 Salem Street in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The two story Romanesque Revival brick and stone building was built in 1895 by architects Damon Brothers for the town of Bradford ; it was the last school building Bradford built. The building was designed with the latest innovations in educational buildings, including amply sized classrooms with plenty of ventilation  and natural lighting.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, at which time it was vacant.</p><br>
<p>The building now houses eight condo units, while still maintaining the original historic elements of the architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Prince Osborne House is a historic First Period house in Danvers, Massachusetts. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof and clapboard siding. Door and window trim is very simple, and there is a slight overhang of the second floor over the first. The house appears to have been formed out of two separate structures, that were, based on stylistic analysis, joined in about 1720. The left side of the house was probably built sometime between 1690 and 1700, but may be even older. In an unusual twist to this type of joinery, the older portion&#39;s chimney was taken down and a new one was apparently built in the framing of the newer section. The interior exhibits primarily later Federal period woodwork, but there are some examples of c. 1720 paneling.</p><br>
<p>The house was moved to its present location in 1915. Its original location was on a farm owned by Robert Prince, who left the property to his wife Sarah in trust for their children. Sarah remarried, to Alexander Osborne, an indentured servant. She died in prison in 1692 while awaiting trial as a witch during the Salem witch hysteria. The Princes and Osbornes fought a legal battle over the estate, complicating the dating of the house. The older portion of the house appears to have been standing by 1696, when mention is made of it in a partial settlement of the dispute.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Peabody City Hall is the historic city hall of Peabody, Massachusetts. It is located at 24 Lowell Street, near Peabody Square.</p><br>
<h2>History and architecture</h2><br>
<p>City Hall was built in 1883 as Town Hall, becoming City Hall when Peabody reincorporated as a city in 1916. The architect was Rufus Sargent of Newburyport. The building was built by Hamilton & Balcomb of Salem.</p><br>
<p>The three-story Second Empire brick building was built in 1883. It follows a roughly square plan, with central projecting sections on each side, and a steeply pitched mansard-style roof with turret-like sections at the building corners. The front entry, facing Lowell Street, projects further than the others, with stairs leading to a recessed doorway sheltered by a portico supported by columns and pilasters. The buildings red brick is set off by bands of granite trim, including that surrounding the arched portions of the buildings windows.</p><br>
<p>As built, the basement floor contained police offices and the first floor contained the government offices and a large hall. The second and third floors of the building was entirely taken up by an auditorium, used for performances and town meeting, later city council meetings. This space was decorated by Matthew L. Robinson of Boston. In 1946, due to structural weaknesses the auditorium was ordered closed by state officials, and city council moved into the large hall downstairs. In 1980 the building was restored, and city council moved back upstairs into the newly renamed Frank L. Wiggin Auditorium, and the police department moved to its own building, the former space being taken over by other government offices. In 2018 the auditorium was refurbished again, with hopes that it could be again used for performances.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and included in the Peabody Civic Center Historic District in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Peabody Central Fire Station is a historic fire station at 41 Lowell Street in Peabody, Massachusetts, United States. Built in 1873, the two story brick building is one of the oldest active fire stations in the state. The building has Victorian styling, with a mansard roof, and two truncated gables on its front facade. The cornice is studded with regularly spaced brackets, and a tower rises from the building&#39;s rear right corner.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Osgood Farm is a historic farmhouse in Andover, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The oldest part of the house was built after the 1699 marriage of Stephen Osgood and Hannah Blanchard. Her father donated the land and his father donated the funds to construct the house. In 1783 American Revolution patriot, James Otis, Jr. was recovering at the house as a guest of Jacob Osgood when he was struck and killed by lightning in the threshold to the home. The house remained in the Osgood family until 1849. For several years in the nineteenth century it was used as an inn and tavern. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The house was originally four rooms built around a central chimney, a northeast wing was added around 1739, probably by Stephen Osgood&#39;s son, Isaac, a French and Indian War veteran. The original central chimney was removed after it caused a fire. The house had several modifications made after the fire.</p><br>
<p>Osgood Hill, also known as the Stevens Estate at Osgood Hill, is a mansion and estate at 709–23 Osgood Street in North Andover, Massachusetts. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Textile manufacturer Moses Tyler Stevens created the estate between 1884 and 1886, with architect William C. Richardson, who designed the mansion and several outbuildings. Richardson emulated the Romanesque Revival style popularized by H. H. Richardson (no relation).</p><br>
<p>Osgood Hill is one of the finest intact examples of the Aesthetic Design Movement of the late 1800s. Inspired by Oscar Wildes 1882 North American lecture tours on the subject of the Aesthetic Movement, the "House Beautiful" at Osgood Hill was designed as a dramatic acknowledgement of the philosophy of the famed playwright, poet genius and social commentator; that the vital intensity of the aesthetic experience is the paramount goal in human life, that art needs no justification and need not serve a moral purpose.</p><br>
<p>The property has three times been saved from development: in 1951 it was donated to Boston University by the Stevens heirs to avoid that fate; and the town of North Andover purchased the property in 1995 when the university planned to sell it for development as house lots. It is currently operated as a conference center and is a popular venue for weddings.</p><br>
<p>The George O. Stacy House is a historic house at 107 Atlantic Road in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The elaborate Colonial Revival house now serves as part of the Bass Rocks Inn. It was built in 1899 for George O. Stacy, a leading Gloucester real estate developer and hotel operator, and designed by Phillips & Halloran. Although it was apparently built for Stacy and his wife to live in, they never did so because his wife objected to its remote location and seasonal isolation. Stacy ended up using it as a rental property.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Webster-Lane House is a historic house in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The two-story wood-frame Greek Revival house was built sometime before 1845, when it first appears on city maps. It was occupied by Nathaniel Webster, a hotel proprietor and ice dealer, between at least 1851 and 1860. It was also occupied, from at least 1869 until 1900, buy Samuel R. Lane, a major merchant and shipper of fish products. Some of the house&#39;s Greek Revival features, most notably its columned porch, are unique in the city.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Washington Street Shoe District of Haverhill, Massachusetts encompasses a two block section of Washington and Wingate Streets, between Railroad Square and Essex Street, in which there were more than 60 shoe factories established in the late 19th century. Buildings in the district are predominantly brick with Italianate styling, and are of a modest scale , unlike later shoe factories which resembled textile mills in size and style. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Washington Street Historic District encompasses a fashionable 19th-century residential area near downtown Peabody, Massachusetts. It extends along Washington, Holten, and Sewall Streets, and is where business and civic leaders of the community built their homes. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Peabody was originally part of Salem, and was, after a series of political divisions, incorporated separately as South Danvers in 1855. It was renamed Peabody, after philanthropist George Peabody, in 1868, and was reincorporated as a city in 1911. What is now Washington Street was laid out in 1750 as part of a new post road between Salem and Boston, running east–west along what is now Main Street, but turning south before reaching Peabody Square. The corner was the site of an 18th-century tavern, and houses and small businesses began to line the street. The oldest surviving house on Washington Street is the 1810 Gen. Gideon Foster House, now a local museum. Another early 19th-century house is that of Abel Proctor (c. 1830), a Federal period house built for a tannery owner. The district is also home to the 1836 United Methodist Church; one of the district&#39;s few non-residential buildings, it was moved here from Peabody Square in 1843.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is bounded on the north by Main Street, and extends south along Washington Street to Aborn Street. It also includes a cluster of similar period buildings on Sewall Street and Holten Street, the latter running parallel to and east of Washington Street. The district is characterized by uniform setbacks on each street (larger on Washington and smaller on the other two streets), with mainly wood-frame houses two or three stories in height. They are in a diversity of styles, having been built at various stages in Peabody&#39;s 19th-century economic history. The largest number of houses have elements of Greek Revival or Italianate styling.</p><br>
<p>The Richard Ward House is a historic house in Andover, Massachusetts. It is a -story wood-frame house, with asymmetrical massing characteristic of the Queen Anne style. It has a front gable with decorative cut shingles and an oriel window, and a porch with turned posts and balustrade. It is a locally distinctive example of a middle class Queen Anne style Victorian in a rural setting. It was built between 1885 and 1888 for Richard Ward, a milk dealer who had married into the locally prominent Abbot family.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Joshua Ward House is a historic house in Salem, Massachusetts. The three-story Federal style brick house, built in 1784, is one of the first brick houses in Salem. Its interior woodwork was done by noted Salem builder and woodworker Samuel McIntire, including an original staircase that is the oldest surviving staircase created by him. George Washington is reported to have specifically requested staying in this house when he visited Salem in 1789.</p><br>
<p>The building has an austere brick exterior laid in Flemish bond. Its four chimneys were damaged by storms in its early years, and again in the 1938 New England Hurricane. The house was used in the 19th century as a tavern. It was built on the same site as the former home of Sheriff George Corwin, famously associated with the Salem witch trials.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and included in the Downtown Salem District in 1983.</p><br>
<p>In 2015 it was turned into a hotel.</p><br>
<p>Camp Greentop is located in Catoctin Mountain Park near Thurmont, Maryland. The camp was built by the Works Progress Administration labor program in the development of what was then known as the Catoctin Mountain Recreational Demonstration Area, and comprises 22 rustic log buildings including sleeping cabins, administrative buildings and lodges. All were built between 1934 and 1938. The buildings are a simplified version of the National Park Service Rustic style. The camp was originally to duplicate the design of Camp Misty Mount, but was modified during construction for use by the Baltimore League for Crippled Children, making it one of the first handicap-accessible facilities in the United States. "From 1957 through 1996, every student in Frederick County enjoyed the opportunity to make a national park their school". Students stayed in the cabins while taking advantage of this outdoor school as part of Frederick County&#39;s Outdoor School program.</p><br>
<p>The camp was designed to accommodate 150 people, organized into units of 30. As a matter of policy, a swimming pool was provided, as no natural alternative existed. The cabins with siding exteriors used "waney board" siding, with boards cut from untrimmed logs, resulting in irregular, wavy or "waney" edges. The design modifications at Greentop to accommodate handicapped children reduced capacity to 98.</p><br>
<p>Greentop is also known as Camp 2: Camp 1 is Camp Misty Mount and Camp 3, originally called Camp Hi-Catoctin and located at a much higher elevation, became Camp David.</p><br>
<p>Camp Greentop Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Camp Misty Mount is located in Catoctin Mountain Park near Thurmont, Maryland. The camp was built by the Works Progress Administration labor program in the development of what was then known as the Catoctin Mountain Recreational Development Area, and comprises 35 rustic log buildings including sleeping cabins, administrative buildings and lodges. All were built between 1935 and 1938. The buildings are a simplified version of the National Park Service Rustic style. Misty Mount is used as a public cabin-camping facility.</p><br>
<p>Misty Mount is also known as Camp 1: Camp 2 is Camp Greentop and Camp 3, originally called Camp Hi-Catoctin and located at a much higher elevation, became Camp David.</p><br>
<p>Camp Misty Mount Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Middletown Historic District comprises the historic center of Middletown, Maryland. Middletown became the chief community in the Middletown Valley in the late 18th century, retaining its importance until the 1930s, when the expanding influence of Frederick, Maryland, the construction of a bypass on US 40 and the abandonment of the Hagerstown and Frederick Railway produced a gradual decline. The historic district preserves many mid-19th-century buildings in the central downtown area. To the east, the district includes early 20th-century houses built along the trolley right-of-way, forming a streetcar suburb. The Airview Historic District includes a related area of early 20th century development to the east of town along the National Pike, separated from the main district by a section of newer development.</p><br>
<p>The Michaelis Ranch is a historic cattle ranch located near Kyle, Texas, United States. The ranch was founded by Max G. Michaelis Sr. in the late 1890s, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The ranch was known in the early 20th century as one of the largest producers of donkeys in the United States, and became famous in the 1930s for introducing Charolais cattle to the United States. The ranch was also home to Helen Michaelis, the first woman inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame.</p><br>
<p>The Park Avenue Historic District is a historic district located in Detroit, Michigan, along Park Avenue between Adams St. and I-75. The district includes the Women&#39;s City Club, the Detroit Building, and the Park Avenue House. The district was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1996 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1920s, Detroit&#39;s prestigious Grand Circus Park was crowded with buildings. The automotive boom in the city increased the pressure for office space, and development began to spill north from Grand Circus Park up Park Avenue. In 1922, Albert Kahn designed the Park Avenue Building, located at the entrance to Park Avenue (but included in the neighboring Grand Circus Park Historic District). Other architects and artisans contributed hotels, apartment buildings, and office buildings to the structures on Park Avenue.</p><br>
<p>In 1923, the Park Avenue Association was formed. They planned the street to concentrate high-grade commercial and office space at the south end, and prestigious residential development at the north end. As the district developed, Detroiters consciously perceived it as their citys version of New York Citys Fifth Avenue.</p><br>
<p>Also on Park Avenue was Womens City Club and the Detroit chapter of the Colony Club, both critical in providing women with social and work activities and supporting womens suffrage.</p><br>
<p>The area was used decreasingly during the Great Depression, but saw a resurgence after World War II, with a mix of social groups and multiple restaurant and entertainment venues.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the state register of historic places in 1996, and on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Historic structures</h2><br>
<p>The Park Avenue Historic District contains thirteen buildings. Two of these (the Women&#39;s City Club and the Park Avenue House) are separately listed on the National Register. Two additional buildings on either side of Park Avenue at West Adams (the Park Avenue Building and the Kales Building), are located within the Grand Circus Park Historic District, and thus not included in this district.</p><br>
<p>Schifferstadt, Also known as Scheifferstadt, is the oldest standing house in Frederick, Maryland. Built in 1758, it is one of the nation&#39;s finest examples of German-Georgian colonial architecture. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The stone house was completed in 1758 as were the three cast iron five-plate stoves used to heat the rooms. Only one survives. The house stands on land settled by German immigrant farmer Josef Brunner (later alternately spelled Bruner and Brooner) in 1736. In time, Brunner purchased 303 acre of a 7,000-acre tract land known as "Taskers Chance" from Frederick Town (current-day Frederick) developer Daniel Dulany. Brunner named the property after Klein Schifferstadt, his home town in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of southwestern Germany near Mannheim. Brunners older sons purchased adjacent farms, bringing the total owned by the family to about 1000 acres.</p><br>
<p>Brunner built a log house on the site, cleared land, established a farm and lived there for several years. Brunner died Feb 17, 1753, and the property ultimatly went to his youngest son Elias, who clearly prospered enough to build the fairly large stone house that stands today. Josef had moved into the nearby town of Frederick possibly because of ill health as the property was some distance from town at the time.</p><br>
<p>The eldest daughter Anna Barbara Buner was born Sept 21, 1701 in Schiffererstadt, Rhineland - Palatinate, Germany. She married Christian Getzendanner in her hometown on August 20, 1723. They had eight children in 17 years. She died in Frederick 1773 twenty years after her father and seemed to be the matriarch of the family and the property for some time.</p><br>
<p>Much of the property is a Golf Course now and the Getzendanner Cemetery is on the Golf Course. Anna Barbara Bruner Getzendanner is buried with several of her children in that graveyard as evidently they all lived along the creek property in several log homes. They main house is still standing and is a three story stone structure with a summer kitchen (slaughter house) and a guest room for travelling preachers and school teachers. The 5 plate stoves fed into a common flue and the entire house heated.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The sandstone for Schifferstadt&#39;s two-foot-thick walls may have come from a local quarry near Walkersville Maryland. The hand-hewn wood beams were pinned together with wooden pegs. Above the windows and doors on the first floor of the building are reinforcing stone arches, supporting the outside walls above them. The roof is considered to be unusual with kick-up, or flared eaves. The house has a large "wishbone" chimney, gathering flues from all four fireplaces into one chimney. In the parlor and upstairs bedrooms were three "Five Plate" cast iron boxes that kept most of the house warm. Also called jamb stoves, these were parts of a clean, energy-efficient radiant heating system, fed by fireplaces in the center hall. One is still there—the only one anywhere known still to be in its original place—and is the basis for dating the house at 1758 because of the date cast into the plates. Much of the original construction and detailing survives, showing particular examples of German influence, including a narrow efficient staircase to the second floor. Schifferstadt is known to be the finest existing example of German colonial architecture in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>Ownership, disrepair and restoration</h2><br>
<p>The house was owned by Brunner&#39;s family and descendants until 1899 when it was sold (along with 94 acres) to Frederick resident Edward C. Krantz for $16,000. The house remained in the Krantz family until July 1974 when it was sold to Frederick County Landmarks Foundation. The foundation subsequently restored</p><br>
<p>Schifferstadt and today operates it as an architectural and local history museum.</p><br>
<p>Schifferstadt was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 22, 1974</p><br>
<p>The Col. John Osgood House is a historic late First Period house in North Andover, Massachusetts. The original part of the house, its left side, was built c. 1720. A second, similar building  was then attached to the right side of the chimney at a later date, demonstrating an unusual method of joining the two structures. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Col. John Osgood House is set on the east side of Osgood Street, just south of a side spur road leading to a condominium complex. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a central chimney, clapboard siding, and an integral rear leanto section giving the house a traditional New England saltbox profile. The front facade is symmetrically arranged, with a projecting central entrance vestibule with a gable pediment. The flanking bays have windows, spaced in groups of two, and there are three gabled dormers projecting from the roof. An enclosed porch extends to the right of the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house is built of two distinct structures, which were joined in the 18th century. The main portion, built c. 1720 was the leftmost three bays, which included a large central chimney (which has since been rebuilt). To this, probably early in the building&#39;s history, a similar structure of equal or older age, was added to the right. The tie beams of the two structures were joined by doubly dovetailed timbers, a method rarely seen for such work in eastern Massachusetts. The house originally faced south, but was rotated on its site to face west when the road was realigned in the early 20th century. At that time the chimney was partially rebuilt to accommodate the new configuration. The porch, front vestibule, and dormers are all 20th century alterations, as is the removal of part of the rear leanto to provide space for a patio.</p><br>

<p>The Samuel Osgood House is a historic house in North Andover, Massachusetts, USA. Built about 1740, it is said to be the birthplace of Samuel Osgood , a member of the Continental Congress and the first United States Postmaster General. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Samuel Osgood House is located east of North Andover&#39;s town center, on the west side of Osgood Street, between Stevens Street and the Cochichewick River. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, two interior brick chimneys, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature and gabled pediment. The first-floor windows are topped by similar gables, while the second-floor windows have slightly projecting lintels. The building corners have plain cornerboards, rising to a dentillated cornice. The interior is organized in a center hall plan, with paneled fireplace surrounds. An ell extends to the rear, projecting slightly to the left, and there is a single-story porch projecting to the right.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1740, and is a good local example of mid-18th century Georgian architecture. Samuel Osgood was born in this house in 1747; he served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and was elected to the Continental Congress in 1781. He was appointed the nation&#39;s first Postmaster General by President George Washington, and served in other civic roles prior to his death in 1813. His house is supposedly one of the places where the library of Harvard College was stored during the Revolution.</p><br>
<p>The Palmer School, also known as the District No. 2 Schoolhouse, is a historic 19th-century one-room schoolhouse at 33 Main Street in Boxford, Massachusetts. Built in 1845, it is the town&#39;s last surviving 19th-century school building. It was used as a school until 1931, replaced by the Cole School, on whose grounds it stands. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Palmer School building is located west of the Boxford village center, near the junction of Main Street and the south access road for the Harry Cole School. It is a single-story wood frame structure with a gabled roof. It has very minimal Greek Revival styling reflective of its construction date in 1845. The western gable end of the structure has the main door, flanked by windows, while the long side of the building has seven windows, although it previously had only four. The eastern end has three standard double hung windows, with a small eye window in the gable.</p><br>
<p>The building was built in 1845, during a period of prosperity in the town, during which it updated all of its district school buildings. It was used as a school facility from 1845 until 1931. In 1918 it was named in honor of Dr. Julius Palmer, a jeweler who had retired to the town. Its window alterations date to the 1920s. In 1931 it was sold by the town, and was moved to its present location for use as a community center, made as a gift of the purchaser, Edna Rich Morse. It was eventually donated back to the town, and has intermittently been used for a number of municipal functions, including for municipal offices, and as a kindergarten facility.</p><br>
<p>Park Lodge is a historic house in Methuen, Massachusetts. It is primarily noted for its association with industrialist and philanthropist Edward Searles whose Pine Lodge estate was nearby. Searles, a Methuen native who made a fortune in textiles and the railroad, made major contributions to the development of Methuen around the turn of the 20th century. This Craftsman style house, designed by Henry Vaughan and built in 1910, is a notable architectural element of Searles&#39; legacy. The main block is a -story structure with a side-gable roof, which is extended to the left by a -story ell and to the front by a two-story projection. A shed-roof porch is in the crook to the left of this projection, and the main entrance is in the leftmost ell. The house is generally finished in stucco, with wooden shingles in the gable ends.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. At that time it was thought that this house incorporated elements of a c. 1840 Greek Revival farmhouse belonging to his father Jesse. However, the Jesse Searles House is now known to have been locate on the Searles estate, and was altered. It is possible that this house also incorporates an older building, because Searles was known to move buildings around. This house was sold out of the Searles family by his heirs after his death in 1920.</p><br>
<p>The Emeline Patch House is a historic late First Period house in Hamilton, Massachusetts. The 2.5-story wood-frame house was built in stages, the first being the front rooms of the house along with the central chimney. Later in the 18th century, the rear rooms were added and the roof was rebuilt. In the 19th century, a small ell was added to the right side. The house was moved back from the road around 1940.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The John P. Peabody House is a historic house at 15 Summer Street in Salem, Massachusetts. Built in 1868 by Salem merchant John P. Peabody, it is a rare early example of Colonial Revival architecture. The two story wood-frame house is three bays wide, with a slate gambrel roof. The centered front door is sheltered by a portico supported by Doric columns. The second story center window reinforces focus, being enlarged slightly by sidelights as compared to the other windows on the facade. The roof is pierced by three dormers, the outer ones with pointed gables and the central one with a rounded pediment reminiscent of the then-fashionable Second Empire style.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is now owned by the Salem Inn, which also owns the nearby West Cogswell House.</p><br>
<p>The Abiel Pearson House is a historic house in Andover, Massachusetts. This Federal style two story house was built c. 1807 for Doctor Abiel Pearson, originally from Byfield, Massachusetts, at the start of High Street near the town center. It was purchased in 1829, two years after Pearsons death by Benjamin Punchard, who lived in the house until 1846. Punchard moved the house to its present location in order to build a new house  at the same location. This house he divided into a two family and rented out. The house was sold to John Harding after Punchards death in 1852, and remained in the hands of his descendants until 1935. The house features elegant Federal details, agreeably extended with a Greek Revival roof balustrade. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The John Perkins House was a historic First Period house in Wenham, Massachusetts. The 2.5-story wood-frame house was built in stages, beginning c. 1710 with the right side and the chimney. This was followed by the left side and the rear leanto, which were probably added in the following decades. It is possible that the house was built with a single story porch, which would have been a quite rare feature.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The home was demolished on May 13, 2011. In 2018, the property was sold and developed into a single-family dwelling.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Perkins House is a historic house in Methuen, Massachusetts. From its external appearance, it is a Greek Revival 1.5-story wood-frame house, which appears to have been built around 1840; however, it has also been assigned construction dates as early as 1752 by local historians. It exhibits Greek Revival features, with corner pilasters, a deep cornice, and a center delighted doorway framed by an entablature supported by pilastered. It is named for a farmer who owned the property in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
